UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-7512

SULYAMAN WASALAAM,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

CHRIST YOUNG; DARYL WILLIAMS; SHERIFF RALPH KERSEY; SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND DETENTION CENTER,

Defendant - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. William L. Osteen, Jr., Chief District Judge. (1:15-cv-00642-WO-LPA)

Submitted: January 14, 2016 Decided: January 20, 2016

Before AGEE, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Sulyaman Wasalaam, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Sulyaman Wasalaam seeks to appeal the district court’s

order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation

and dismissing without prejudice his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2012)

complaint. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final

orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2012), and certain interlocutory and

collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2012); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541

, 545-

47 (1949). Because the deficiencies identified by the district

court may be remedied by the filing of an amended complaint, we

conclude that the order Wasalaam seeks to appeal is neither a

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392,

10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67

(4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

DISMISSED
